Neil Tolbert, Director of Marketing and Communications at Mack Trucks, joins the Social Pros Podcast to share how to successfully drive organic growth through consideration, content, and consistency.
Driving to Consideration
Driving to ConsiderationYou don’t usually see “organic social growth” and “corporate B2B marketing” in the same sentence. However, Neil at Mack Trucks has managed to swell the social ranks of his corporate accounts, especially Facebook, with little to no paid ads. It’s almost all organic.
How is that possible?
Through consistent content, a team organized by skillset, and deep mapping of touchpoints across all platforms he has built a social empire not often seen in the B2B world.
Having his team setup by skills allows each member to contribute at their highest possible level, which leads to a consistently high quality content. Consumers that engage with Mack Trucks are rewarded with impressive content that pulls them in and drives them to consideration.
By taking the time to map customer touchpoints thoroughly, he is able to follow the leads through their journey. This allows for further fine-tuning of content to turn those leads into sales.
A truly rewarding social cycle for customers and businesses alike.
In This Episode

- How consistency in content leads to booming organic social growth
- Why vetting your social impacts means mapping touchpoints and finding customer consideration
